Signs of the Times

How the light bearers of the Sun, Moon and Stars point spiritually to the Church in Tribulation prior to the revelation of Christ?

LIGHTS IN THE HEAVENS FOR TIME: THE CORPORATE CHURCH?

Ge 1:14 And God said, Let there be LIGHTS in the firmament of the heaven to divide the DAY from the NIGHT; and let them be for SIGNS, and for seasons, and for DAYS, and YEARS:

Mt 5:14 Ye are the LIGHT of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

Ro 2:19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, A LIGHT of them which are in darkness,

Mt 5:16 Let your LIGHT so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Lu 11:33 No man, when he hath LIGHTED a candle, putteth [it] in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a CANDLESTICK, that they which come in may see the LIGHT.

Re 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy CANDLESTICK out of his place, except thou repent.

OBSERVING TIMES: CHURCH IN TRIBULATION?

Ga 4:9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly ELEMENTS, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?

Ga 4:10 Ye observe DAYS, and MONTHS, and TIMES, and YEARS.

Lu 1:24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself FIVE MONTHS, saying,

Mt 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the SIGN of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

Mt 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no MAN DECEIVE YOU.

Mt 24:5 For MANY shall COME IN MY NAME, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

Lu 21:25 And there shall be SIGNS in the SUN, and in the MOON, and in the STARS; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

Mr 13:22 For false Christs and FALSE PROPHETS shall rise, and shall shew SIGNS and wonders, to seduce, if [it were] possible, even the elect.

Mt 12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the SIGN sign of the prophet Jonas:

Mt 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Mt 16:3 And in the morning, [It will be] foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O [ye] hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not [discern] the SIGNS OF THE TIMES?

Re 20:7 And when the THOUSAND YEARS are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

Ps 102:27 But thou [] the same, and THY YEARS shall have no end.

Heb 1:12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy YEARS shall not fail.

Ps 90:4 For a THOUSAND YEARS in thy sight [] as yesterday when it is past, and [as] a **watch in the NIGHT**.

Mt 14:25 And in the fourth **watch of the NIGHT** Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.

END OF TIME: DEATH OF THE UNSAVED CHURCH, BABYLON?

Isa 13:10 For the STARS of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their LIGHT: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

Mt 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the SUN be darkened, and the MOON shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

Eze 32:8 All the bright LIGHTS of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.

Re 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the SUN became black as sackcloth of hair, and the MOON became as blood;

Re 10:6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be TIME NO LONGER:

Da 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, [even] to the TIME OF THE END: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

Da 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words [are] closed up and sealed till the TIME OF THE END.

Hab 2:3 For the vision [is] yet for an appointed TIME, but at THE END it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

1Pe 4:17 For the TIME [] that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if [it] first [begin] at us, what shall the END [be] of them that obey not the gospel of God?

SUMMARY CONCLUSION: God appears to be associating SIGN OF THE TIME with the Church in tribulation when false prophets and false christs invade the corporate church. It’s also the TIME when the body of Christ is in the heart of the earth (Sign of the prophet Jonas).
